I have two options tonight.
Trade gawn in for Grundy and enjoy the match and probably nail a VC. Or take the meek route which may get a bit bumpy and result in putting my tele through the lounge window when gawn goes 180. Hmm Might start looking at new TVs haha
Meek has briggs 2.0 vibes and I enjoyed that ride last season. Missed alot of cash cows to thus far so may help with cash generation.
I’ve Passed on Gawn, GD. Don’t feel good about it but taking meek will probably allow a few more upgrade options this week and next. Plug a few holes up.
Is Lyons this year’s Constable?
I’m hanging onto him waiting for him to pop his cherry. I figure he was best 23 into last years GF and started this year, and has been named emergency since, am I just waiting for a couple of injuries or should I let him go?
File him under the ‘break class in case of emergency’ category. Can get the ball still, but too slow, not enough defensive running. The same things that saw him move from Adelaide and GC.
As a non owner its kinda Funny how I’m relieved he’s only on 35 at QT. Yet 4 quarters of going 35 is 140 haha I have almost just pencilled this in as a 170+ for gawn.
Cd caller on the take again GD…. What’s your take on Neale? Looking close to getting in my side . Just not sure he has the ceiling of times past. Thoughts???
I was just lighting him up in another thread lol. Not a fan. Injury profile (missed one game, ankle last week subbed, issues tonight), declined last year and far better Top 8 options imo.
Ask yourself this: would you blind C him? That’s my criterion for premo MIDs.
I genuinely question whether Zorko is worth it now he is off half back. Sitting on 90 at 3/4 time. If he holds that role when McKenna returns he looks like a top 6 FWD
Dees won the hitouts 58-27, yet the Lions won the clearances 44-37
As others have said, the Dees midfielders got bullied last night. Rayner was just pushing blokes out of the way. No wonder Max was frustrated. The bye has come at the right time for them.
No Late Changes
Subs
Melbourne – Taj Woewodin
Brisbane – James Tunstill
Don’t have anyone except Howes E here. Thinking Dees put the Crows down quite comfortably.
Interested to see where people ended up re Dawson?
Crows? It’s Brisbane
Only have Gawn VC here
early start on the whiskey today GD?
I’ll be busting out something stronger than whiskey if Gawn goes massive here, Mav.
160+ incoming.
Sitting on Tingles and Xerri smh.
Jesus christ. I’m loosing my mind. I saw yellow and I was like CROWS. Lmao.
Dees Brisbane. Right. Yeah, still Dees and still no one in it for me lol.

Well Meek scores for both weeks, whereas Gawn has the bye next week.
Gawn might only need the 1 week to outscore meeks 2 if he double tons here tonight, done it before haha
What’d you end up doing?
I’ve Passed on Gawn, GD. Don’t feel good about it but taking meek will probably allow a few more upgrade options this week and next. Plug a few holes up.

Paddling backwards in the same boat.
Brisbane supporter’s words – wouldn’t think he’s back anytime soon. If he was in plans… would be playing.
File him under the ‘break class in case of emergency’ category. Can get the ball still, but too slow, not enough defensive running. The same things that saw him move from Adelaide and GC.
Salem hobbling off the ground with the trainers.
Just traded him out from the Tech Team….
And Salem has been subbed with a hamstring injury
Two people traded Nick Daicos to Christian Salem for two points this week.
It’s been three quarters and he has still scored more than Petty and Brown on 1 and -2
Howes coming to life since Salem is out injured.
Gawn with 23 hitouts in the first term, but so many hitouts are being sharked. Only on 35
As a non owner its kinda Funny how I’m relieved he’s only on 35 at QT. Yet 4 quarters of going 35 is 140 haha I have almost just pencilled this in as a 170+ for gawn.
With that many hitouts I expected him to be on 50 just nothing going to advantage
Petracca on 26 points at half time
Oliver 29
Gawn leading the disposal count for Melbourne on 12
Brisbane midfield is just dominating this game
Melbourne mids are not reading Gawn and he has gotten frustrated and is just trying to do it without them
Yeah he was grabbing the ball out the ruck more that term and doing the work himself
First time I’ve seen Melbourne this year, is it me or is Clarry carrying a decent amount of excess condition?
Missing the preseason looks to have hurt his form massively.
Yeah, no pre-season showing but there’s more to it. Profile is way off.
Van Rooyen, Fritsch, Brown and Petty on a COMBINED 22 points at half time.
No wonder the Dees are losing
Nice work, Howes. Knew you still had it in you. Good man. Ride to 70 from here ty.
Gawn getting plenty of hit outs, it’s just Oliver and Tracca fumbling so much they arnt being considered HO to advantage
He’s carrying so hard it’s ridiculous.
Been underscored this Q as well.
– non owner

Hey, Mark.
I was just lighting him up in another thread lol. Not a fan. Injury profile (missed one game, ankle last week subbed, issues tonight), declined last year and far better Top 8 options imo.
Ask yourself this: would you blind C him? That’s my criterion for premo MIDs.
Agreed as such.. I have 6 I’ll keep. Probably Tracc and Zerret will be 7 and 8 but just thinking about point scoring stepping stones or keepers.
Clearly has an ankle problem and they already had their bye, so no resting it
Lohmann really repaying the faith. Legend.
I genuinely question whether Zorko is worth it now he is off half back. Sitting on 90 at 3/4 time. If he holds that role when McKenna returns he looks like a top 6 FWD
Grins
If Lohmann tons will he be an option at 215k with an 88 and 100 in his cycle?
Satan out of CB and now off HB.
Might get Oliver at rookie price next season!!!
Locked in Gawn as C. 130+ is good enough
Likewise
I think so
Christian Petracca high on my wish list in a few weeks after his 59 points.
Couldn’t have timed it better for me CT!
Dees won the hitouts 58-27, yet the Lions won the clearances 44-37
As others have said, the Dees midfielders got bullied last night. Rayner was just pushing blokes out of the way. No wonder Max was frustrated. The bye has come at the right time for them.
There were 15 sharked hitouts for Max Gawn last night – his 2nd most in any match in the previous 7 seasons.
BEST
Brisbane: Rayner, Dunkley, Gawn.
Melbourne: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
